61 | 61 | Again, you are lucky, because a Linux edition for ARM64 processors is also available:</p> |

66 | 66 | <p>When you download one of these two files, it will appear in your <b>Downloads</b> folder, |
67 | 67 | which is another folder under <b>My files</b> (if the file doesn’t download when you click on it, |
68 | 68 | then try right-click and choose <b>Save link as...</b> in your browser).</p> |

| 73 | +<p>After you confirm that your <b>Linux files</b> folder contains praat6439_chrome-intel64.tar.gz (or its ARM64 friend), |
74 | 74 | you are ready to install Praat via the Terminal. Thus, open your Terminal app again and type:</p> |
75 | 75 | <code> |
76 | 76 | ls -al |
|
79 | 79 | the resulting list shows a number of hidden files, with names that start with “.”, |
80 | 80 | but it should also show you the file that you downloaded, probably in a line like this:</p> |
81 | 81 | <code> |
82 | | --rw-r--r-- 1 yourname yourname 14764270 Nov 7 09:52 praat6438_chrome-intel64.tar.gz |
| 82 | +-rw-r--r-- 1 yourname yourname 14764270 Nov 7 09:52 praat6439_chrome-intel64.tar.gz |
83 | 83 | </code> |
84 | 84 | <p>Here, 14764270 is the size of the file in bytes (i.e., the file is 14.7 MB big), “Nov 7 09:52” is the date and time |
85 | 85 | at which the file was created (i.e. downloaded or copied), and “yourname” is the name |
|
89 | 89 | so you have to uncompress it by typing the following command into the Terminal window |
90 | 90 | (i.e. type the text, followed by Enter):</p> |
91 | 91 | <code> |
92 | | - gunzip praat6438_chrome-intel64.tar.gz |
| 92 | + gunzip praat6439_chrome-intel64.tar.gz |
93 | 93 | </code> |
94 | 94 | <p>After this command, do</p> |
95 | 95 | <code> |
96 | 96 | ls -al |
97 | 97 | </code> |
98 | 98 | <p>again, and you see that the file has been unpacked to something that is 55.2 MB big:</p> |
99 | 99 | <code> |
100 | | --rw-r--r-- 1 yourname yourname 55200000 Jan 3 00:51 praat6438_chrome-intel64.tar |
| 100 | +-rw-r--r-- 1 yourname yourname 55200000 Jan 3 00:51 praat6439_chrome-intel64.tar |
101 | 101 | </code> |
102 | 102 | <p>This file is still not the Praat app. The extension <b>.tar</b> means that the file |
103 | 103 | has been archived by <b>tar</b>, |
104 | 104 | so you have to unpack it again with the following command:</p> |
105 | 105 | <code> |
106 | | - tar xvf praat6438_chrome-intel64.tar |
| 106 | + tar xvf praat6439_chrome-intel64.tar |
107 | 107 | </code> |
108 | 108 | <p>where <b> xvf</b> stands for eXtract - Verbose - File. After this command, do</p> |
109 | 109 | <code> |
|
114 | 114 | in the <b>Linux files</b> folder):</p> |
115 | 115 | <code> |

118 | 118 | </code> |
119 | 119 | <p>You see that the file <b>praat</b> has the date and time at which it was originally |
120 | 120 | created by the authors of Praat. The three little <i>x</i>es in <b>-rwxr-xr-x</b> mean |
|
138 | 138 | <p>This is the name by which the <b>Linux files</b> folder is known to Linux! |
139 | 139 | So they are the same folder, known under two different names, |
140 | 140 | depending on whether you look from the ChromeOS side or from the Linux side.</p> |
141 | | -<p>You no longer need the file praat6438_chrome-intel64.tar. You can throw it away by typing</p> |

| 143 | + rm praat6439_chrome-intel64.tar |
144 | 144 | </code> |
